Marvel, ABC Planning Agents of SHIELD Spinoff Series

Though there's no official word yet on either a Season 3 pick up for Marvel's Agents of SHIELD or a Season 2 renewal for Marvel's Agent Carter, news has broken that both Marvel and ABC are in the midst of developing an Agent of SHIELD spinoff series.

Per EW.com, this new spinoff would not come about via "backdoor pilot" (a bubble-episode within a season that introduces brand new characters who are intended to get immediately spun off) but instead would be based on a story arc featured in the remaining Season 2 SHIELD episodes. Plot details and characters about the new spinoff are zilch at this point though. No info other than in hailing from SHIELD producer Jeffrey Bell (Angel, The X-Files) and series writer Paul Zbyszewski (Lost).

So there are a lot of questions, of course. Does this mean Agent Carter is done and this new show -- presumedly more directly tied to Agents of SHIELD in both story and era -- will be the new 8-episode fill-in during the winter months? Will it be about Edward James Olmos' Robert Gonzalez and his team? Will it be about Inhumans? Mockingbird? Will Fitz open a P.I. firm where the "P" stands for prosciutto? What's the deal?
